Strong involvement of FEMTO-ST in the H2020 project "PhotonHub Europe"
The objective of this project is to help European SMEs to increase their competitiveness through photonics with a online guidance, which will offer the support of 54 leading competence centers in Europe, including FEMTO-ST, which is also the scientific coordinator at the national level.
First demonstration of self-confined nonlinear waves in plasmonic structures
By providing the very first experimental evidence of the existence of this phenomenon, FEMTO-ST researchers and their partners hope to be able to generate this nonlinear effect using low intensity laser sources, in order to use it for nanophotonics applications.

A new source of infrared light thanks to fibre optic cascades
Scientists from FEMTO-ST Institute and McGill University (Montreal, Canada) have designed and developed in collaboration with three French companies a light source covering the entire mid-infrared wavelength range: from 2 to 10 µm.
Topological crystals to guide waves on the water surface
Topological crystals have the property of being conductive on their surface, but insulating in their volume which allows very efficient wave guidance by engineering the structure of these materials, generally arranged in a hexagonal symmetry, inspired by the graphene.
